Seborrhoeic Dermatitis - FAQs

Can I cure my dandruff with anti-dandruff shampoos?

While anti-dandruff shampoos can temporarily control dandruff to some extent, they certainly cannot cure it. To cure dandruff and get rid of it permanently, a thorough assessment of your condition and medicines to control sebum levels will be required.

Can home remedies such as curd on the scalp treat dandruff?

Dandruff cannot be cured by home remedies. It is caused due to excessive sebum secretion, which needs medical treatment for permanent relief.

Can dandruff lead to hair loss?

Yes. International studies have shown the correlation between dandruff and hair loss. Dandruff is believed to alter the hair cycle, thus giving rise to hair loss.
